In the history of domestic films, when it comes to the word "burning money", everyone is not unfamiliar, but the difference with foreign countries is that although we are also moving more than a billion investments, some film and television dramas are filmed to see that at most millions of special effects were spent, and the rest of the money was almost invited to traffic stars, until 2018, similar conditions began to improve, such as last year, Guan Hu's "Eight Hundred" in order to restore the real four-element warehouse defense war, spent several years to invest 1:1 to restore the war site of that year
It is precisely because of this investment that "Eight Hundred" became the biggest dark horse in 2020 after the completion of filming, and sat on the throne of the best movie of the year with a box office of more than 5 billion, and similar to this "burning money" scene, there are many in the history of world cinema, and even sometimes not only burn money, but also very dangerous

Many people may have some questions after watching the operations of these directors and crews, that is, things that could have been solved with special effects, why did the other party spend so much money to create a shooting?
In fact, from a personal point of view, these props and the cost spent on the movie are nothing more than two words "real", the special effects are done well, there is no real scene construction that still makes people have aesthetic fatigue, only the things that are really done can be empathetic, which is the reason why the classic movies are praised, because what they do is not art, but restores part of history
I don't know what all of you think about this?
